Re: 8x68S caliber hunting rifle popular?

But what is the 227 gr KS meant for? RWS charts usually show a fallow deer, maybe red deer. Plus roe. It would handle roe fine, but why not use a 180 gr or lighter bullet for roe? JMO.

A behind the shoulder lung shot on deer would probably work fine too, if the shoulder is not in the way.

Nick Harvey when writing his article on the 8x68S in Mauser 66 used a 196 gr RWS FMJ on water buffalo for good results.
